Easy to install

This server was very easy to install. It backs up my three computers automatically overnight and shares family files. Also allows me to dial in from work if I need one of those files. Still trying to get a shared printer on-line but I am sure it will work once I find the time to work on it.

Data Corruption Bug plauges this product

Although this is a very well designed and easy to use product, there is a very serious data corruption bug that plauges this device. It affects all multi-drive Windows Home Servers including this device. Microsoft plans to release a patch in June 2008. DO NOT PURCHASE UNTIL THEN. This is a very bad bug that corrupted my Quicken financial data with 5 years of data. It also affects programs like Office, Money, QuickBooks, iTunes, Media Player, etc.

I purchased it at Circuit City, but they are going to be charging me a 15% restocking fee ($112), even though the Operating System itself doesn't work. This has been a very diffcult week in computers...
